I called Bank of America yesterday and at the end of the call they said “thank you for being a customer of 27 years”… I said “wait….what??”…. She confirmed the date I opened my first account. Time flies. Live life to the fullest.

To this day the most disturbing thing that I come across in this industry is the amount of company owners large and small that don’t have an idea on cost of operating a truck (s). The single truck owners concern me the most because everything is on the line with one truck.

Just saw a post go viral of a guy blaming the shift in market conditions on “nobody but brokers”….. There is a serious misinformation going on out here.. There are good guys and bad guys on both sides but once you understand market conditions you understand pricing leverage.

I love a great debate and difference of opinions! However, when you are disrespectful that line is one you can’t backtrack on. The beauty about growth as a person is that now I just use the block button. I give those out free. The old me was VERY different!! Shout out to growth!

You pay for the cost it takes to acquire someone’s expertise to fix a problem and not the time it took them to fix it. It takes years to make things look easy..

Plumber just charged me $800 to replace my water pressure regulator. Took him 20 minutes and I just looked up the price of the part and it’s $155. I paid the price because mine was leaking, he was in my house and I am extremely lazy but c’mon man that’s pretty egregious.

Flipping the coin on this one. I saw this posted in a group and it reminds you of why broker/carrier relations are where they are… The broker agent replies to a carrier offer… The carrier counters to the broker offer. (Negotiation 101) Broker agent responds with “Silly”…..

I met the absolute nicest person in the airport while waiting on food. She sparked a conversation and asked what I did. Come to find out she was a senior executive for Targus and wanted to gift me with a travel bag from them. Kindness goes a long way….
